In March 2015, I launched the Finder's Keepers Project. Erasers with words like HATE, LIES, POVERTY, HUNGER, DENIAL, GUILT were sent out world wide through social emissaries to draw attention to attitudes or situations in life that, if erased, would make our world a better place. I can't erase all these problems alone so I need your help.

These erasers are left in public and private places for people to find...in restaurants, airports, in potted plants, on car windows, in seats, buses, in corner in a museum, in libraries and on park benches... It's not usual to get something for free but these are indeed free. My hope is the finder will do their own work to help erase problems in their community and in their hearts.

If you are the keeper of a set of erasers, just for fun please tell me where, when, and how you found your erasers and what you're going to do with them now that they are yours.

HI I actually work at precision Toyota as a trac agent. I might get in trouble for doing this but I found the erasers at my work. When I discovered them it was right next to a love lady whom I spoke with. When I returned to the office I actually saw this little girl who was with her grandfather who was a vet. I decided she might want the erasers more than I. So hopefully the domino affect works for more people. And gives happiness to all. Because even though I am down on myself now. Hopefully this little small kind gesture of love will set me free :)

I found the erasers in El Centro CA. Thank you. What a neat thing you do.

So glad you all have found the erasers. So many have gone out. I only hope they will have some impact on helping us move forward in 2016 to a more just, mature and peaceful world.

Hi,
Found your erasers in front of the Tucson Art Museum while walking to the Festival of Books. A nice surprise! I recommend you make it clearer how to respond to you if you want replies. Only found a way to do so in comments section. Also, more contrast for text on your site! It's nice to own a new work of art. Thank you.

Found them at the Tucson Festival of Books. I guess I will use them to remind me to pause and reflect on the ills of the world.

Found the erasers at the Tucson Festival of Books. They were lying on a wall at the down stairway to the U. of A. Bookstore. Thank you for them; I can use them. I make a lot of mistakes or so my wife tells me. Just kidding.

I just found a "hate" eraser in my own house! I'm assuming it fell from a box of odds and ends that my mom sent from her house. She often gives me old mementos, political stickers, thrift store treasures, and hand-me-down clothes. This looks like the sort of thing she'd include. :) Moscow, Idaho
